Well now... here are some photos and information 
about the new church God has led me to......
God does NOT do this in my life without making me
SURE there is a VERY good reason for moving from
one church to another........ the relationships and networking
that is done at a church is VERY important if a Christian is to
be fruitful in anything....the prayer support and encouragement
is so very important...... MUCH like being in "Christianity and
Real Estate". ... the ActiveRain© Group I founded back in Jan.
2007.
So many times I have read a post in the group
or have seen a comment that has totally ministered to me
and brought healing, wisdom, encouragement, and/or warning.....
THAT is what "Christianity and Real Estate" is all about!!
We want to show everyone that there is a difference between
those who life for themselves and those who live for the
Messiah ~~~ Jesus.
It is a totally different type of lifestyle Jesus wants for us as
Christians...to live like He does...and NOT like we THINK or
even sometimes WANT to live in our own wisdom, insight
or perception.
The guy above is one of the Ministers on staff at Faith Assembly.
He is teaching the new membership class and right now we are
in a part of the class called "The Blessed Life"...it is ALL about
being an EXTRAVAGANT giver in life and what God will do when
we live like that..... I can tell you I NEVER thought this was the
way the Lord wanted me to be, because every time I gave a LOT
of money to the kingdom of God, I ALWAYS got taken advantage
of..... to the tune of MANY tens of thousands of dollars!!!
Thank goodness I did NOT get detoured from continuing to search for the truth and I have conformation that "Giving to GIVE" is THEE
BEST way to live!! Let me explain that phrase right now.....
Many TV Evangelists tell people to give to get a blessing. In
this teaching at Faith Assembly, I have had it come into my soul
and spirit that we are to Give so God can give MORE back to us, so we
CAN GIVE EVEN MORE!!!
The first motive "Give to recieve a blessing" makes a person SELFISH.
I do not think God is pleased at a persons heart that gives to
receive a blessing. He is GLAD the gift (money, material possessions, etc.)
is given, BUT the persons HEART has not been changed at all into a
heart that Jesus lives through.....because the basic motive is selfish in
nature. That person is only giving to receive something back.
NOW...think of the person who Gives to Bless...without thinking of
receiving back ANYTHING...... God looks down from heaven and 
BLESSES that person and gives them MORE than they had before....
so they can GIVE MORE into Gods kingdom and to the poor, destitute
and downtrodden. THAT is what this teaching is all about!!!
To say that the people I have met at Faith Assembly are special is
an UNDERSTATEMENT! I have seen so MUCH generosity of heart
at this church it is UNBELEIVEABLE!! These members of this church
have taken to HEART the message Jesus has for us to GIVE to GIVE.....
Take their food ministry for instance....Angel Food Ministry.... this
Ministry is for people who want to SAVE MONEY on buying GREAT
quality food! I have no idea how it works.... BUT it is AWESOME!!
You can get food for a family of FOUR for a whole month for MUCH
less than it would cost you at WALMART !! THIS is NO JOKE!! I, as
a single guy, can buy one of thier boxes of mixed meats (Chicken,
Steak, etc.) and live from it for a MONTH...and it costs just $30.00 !!!
Now we go to the Singles Ministry..... seeing as I have been separated
from my wife for over 2 years now, in my heart I am single..... if we get
back together...I will be a very happy guy.... BUT for the mean time I
am in the singles ministry because I do not have my wife living with
me. Now... SOME people would balk at that....BUT I have NOT gone on
a date with ANY of the ladies in the group, NOR have I expressed an
interest in any of the ladies there either...I treat ALL the women there
as sisters....NOT as potential future mates... and they respect me for
that attitude. The leadership of this group of single Christians are
examples of what it is to be a single person separated unto Gods work.
They are separated (the bible calls this being Holy) to HIM...TOTALLY
and COMPLETELY!!! And it shows!!! The class "How NOT to Date a
LOOSER" I am currently attending is all about how to spot and stay
away from those who are NOT companionship material in a Christian
sense. I wish I could go into all the details of the classes I have been to....
Everything out of the teachers mouth is straight from the Word of God...
and it is AWESOME!! I am SOOOooooo glad to be a part of this group!!
The Singles Ministry is called, "Complete in Christ" which means if
you are single, you do NOT NEED a mate, because the Lord Jesus your
Messiah is everything you need! A LOT of people think they "need" a
mate to "complete them" or to give them security or peace. The fact
is... you do NOT NEED a mate to do ANY of those things.... our Messiah
is ALL you need.... Some of the Apostles were single and were JUST
FINE being that way. One of the Apostles said, the only really good
reason to get married is that your passion overcomes you and you
consistently BURN from it day in and day out.
When you get to the position of HARNESSING your passion and
NOT being a slave to it day in and day out.... you do NOT have to
marry. That is what this ministry is all about..... WOOHOO !!
God has brought me so much joy in being at this church...
I have had to stop during the middle of service and weep for joy.
I have NOT had to do this in a VERY LONG time.... and it is so
welcome to me...that I actually LOOK for what the Lord is going
to do next.... so I might rejoice in His goodness to me!
Having good examples of what a Christian is around me has brought such a wave of encouragement to me.... I am almost out of breath right now even thinking of it while I sit here and type out this post!!
I have NO idea what God is going to do in my life at this point.....
BUT I KNOW WHOM I TRUST
I am sorry for this post being so long....BUT I HAD to let you all know what is happening in my life right now...maybe one or more of you will hear the Lord speaking to YOUR HEART....... "Pick up your stuff and come where I lead you..." I KNOW Jason Crouch did this...and we ALL know what is happening in HIS life....hmmm??
He is having an AWESOME TIME!!!!!
